Student Code of Conduct

As a student enrolled in Saint Xavier University, you assume an obligation to conduct
yourself in a manner compatible with the University’s function as an educational institution.
The Student Code of Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook online. As a student participating in a SXU study abroad program, you are bound to the Student Code of Conduct just as you would be while taking classes on SXU’s campuses in Chicago and Orland
Park.

Important Reminder: You will have more interaction with SXU professors and staff while studying abroad
than a typical student does on campus. You will see faculty and staff outside of the
classroom because of the structure of these programs. Even though you will probably
eat dinner with faculty/staff, see them doing their shopping and go on field trips
with them, they are still employees of Saint Xavier University and you are still a
student. So, you should conduct yourself according to the same rules that you would
here on campus. You should show them the same respect they are given here on campus
and you should address and treat them accordingly.

Violations of the Student Code of Conduct will be reported to the dean of students
by the study abroad program. The Office of the Dean of Students will decide in consultation with the Center for
International Education whether the sanctions should be immediate or upon return to
campus. Failure to adhere to the SXU Student Code of Conduct, especially behavior
that is a danger to you, others or the program, may result in immediate administrative
suspension, which would require dismissal from the study abroad program. Being out
of the country may increase the likelihood that misconduct would be seen as endangering
you, others or the program. Keep in mind that behavior that might go unnoticed on
campus is more likely to be noticed abroad because of the close proximity of faculty
and staff affiliated with your study abroad program.

The following excerpts from the SXU Student Code of Conduct are provided for the purpose
of discussion at Study Abroad Orientation. You are responsible for knowing the content
of the SXU Student Code of Conduct, which is available in its entirety and in its
most updated form in the Student Handbook.
